This is a very intimate story of my personal experiences of an abusive relationship. But unlike many of the “misery lit” books rather than the usual “victim / monster” position, instead it provides a considered perspective on a complex situation.

And it does get VERY intimate.

When I was 12 ½ I met my music teacher for the first time. He spent over 2 years seducing and grooming me. At the age of 15 he abducted me and kept me as a house prisoner for 5 years until I finally managed to escape when I was 20.

The book answers questions that I get asked most often.

Questions like:

The seduction

How did it start?

What was the attraction?

Did your friends, parents, teachers know?

When did you first start having sex?

How do paedophiles groom their victims?

How can you spot if your child is being groomed by a paedophile?

The abduction

How did he get you from your home in Australia to London?

How did he keep you locked up?

What was your daily life like?

What did your teachers think?

What was his hold over you?

Why didn’t you leave?

How often did he rape you?

The liberation

How did you get out?

What happened when you left?

What happened after you left?

Did you ever see him again?

How did it affect you?

How did you recover?

How did you learn to forgive?

How did you turn your life around?
